vkGetPhysicalDeviceSurfaceCapabilitiesKHR(3)

Name

vkGetPhysicalDeviceSurfaceCapabilitiesKHR - Query surface capabilities

C Specification

To query the basic capabilities of a surface, needed in order to create a swapchain, call:

// Provided by VK_KHR_surface
VkResult vkGetPhysicalDeviceSurfaceCapabilitiesKHR(
    VkPhysicalDevice                            physicalDevice,
    VkSurfaceKHR                                surface,
    VkSurfaceCapabilitiesKHR*                   pSurfaceCapabilities);

Parameters

  • physicalDevice is the physical device that will be associated with the swapchain to be created, as described for vkCreateSwapchainKHR.

  • surface is the surface that will be associated with the swapchain.

  • pSurfaceCapabilities is a pointer to a VkSurfaceCapabilitiesKHR structure in which the capabilities are returned.

Description

Valid Usage

  • VUID-vkGetPhysicalDeviceSurfaceCapabilitiesKHR-surface-06211
    surface must be supported by physicalDevice, as reported by vkGetPhysicalDeviceSurfaceSupportKHR or an equivalent platform-specific mechanism

Valid Usage (Implicit)

  • VUID-vkGetPhysicalDeviceSurfaceCapabilitiesKHR-physicalDevice-parameter
    physicalDevice must be a valid VkPhysicalDevice handle

  • VUID-vkGetPhysicalDeviceSurfaceCapabilitiesKHR-surface-parameter
    surface must be a valid VkSurfaceKHR handle

  • VUID-vkGetPhysicalDeviceSurfaceCapabilitiesKHR-pSurfaceCapabilities-parameter
    pSurfaceCapabilities must be a valid pointer to a VkSurfaceCapabilitiesKHR structure

  • VUID-vkGetPhysicalDeviceSurfaceCapabilitiesKHR-commonparent
    Both of physicalDevice, and surface must have been created, allocated, or retrieved from the same VkInstance

Return Codes
Success

  • VK_SUCCESS

Failure

  • VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_DEVICE_MEMORY

  • VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY

  • VK_ERROR_SURFACE_LOST_KHR

  • VK_ERROR_UNKNOWN

  • VK_ERROR_VALIDATION_FAILED
